    That's very likely. I go with Beethoven all the way though.

    Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.

    Keith, Kevin, Kenneth, Michael, Araon, Alexander, Mark, Jonas, Jake, David, Andrew, Christopher....for boys...I like all of those names a lot...

    My grand-daughter's name is Brooke. It seems to fit her very well. It has a certain strength to it and it's cute, I think. My son used to call her Brookie Cookie, even before she was born. Elise is her middle name. Now I just love that and it goes well and softens 'Brooke'.

    Celeste, Monica, Julia, Rebecca, Lisa, are interesting names and sound pretty to me....

    I know it. That is exactly what I thought of right off the bat, when they told me it would be her middle name. Also, I really secretly wanted to call her that and not Brooke; however, 'Brooke' has now grown on me and I like it. She seems to fit the name. She is my sweet little Brooke Elise.

    Interestingly, I have found that "Brook" is still used as a verb in Scottish English, meaning "to enjoy"

    Is that with the 'e' on the end? Her name is spelled 'Brooke'....

    Actually "Brooke" as a given name is a variant of the word "Brook", and it seems it became popular since the 1950s, probably influenced by American socialite Brooke Astor (1902-2007) and further popularized by actress Brooke Shields.

    Hope you liked the info, in case you don't know some of it already
    My cousin is Katja, and she's not the only Katja I know. It's a Finnish name too (as is Anja, by the way)

    I like the name "Chloe" a lot

    When I was a kid, I would have wanted to be "Emilia" (it's the Finnish form of "Emily"). Nowadays I'm quite happy being an Anna, even if it's one of the most common names there is (especially combined with my second name "Maria", which is the most popular female name in Finland ).

    I found out recently that I was almost a Greer. How cool would that be? I'd love to be Greer.

    Janine, I really liked the name Jonas--until a certain pop band came around.

    CHLOE
    Usage: English, Biblical, Biblical Latin, Biblical Greek, Ancient Greek, Greek Mythology
    Other Scripts: Χλοη (Ancient Greek)
    Means "green shoot" in Greek. This was an epithet of the Greek goddess Demeter. As an English name, Chloe has been in use since the Protestant Reformation.

    In Spanish "Emilia" is very popular too, and we have legions of ladies called "Ana María" (both names are very much used, either separated or together).

    GREER
    Gender: Feminine & Masculine
    Usage: Scottish, English (Rare)
    From a Scottish surname which was derived from the given name GREGOR, which is the German, Scottish and Slovene form of GREGORY, which in turn comes from Latin Gregorius, which was from the late Greek name Γρηγοριος (Gregorios), derived from γρηγορος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert".
    Sounds as a cool name ... and how did your parents finally name you, if I may ask?

    Janine, Brooke with an "e" at the end is a small flow of water like a stream.
    Brooke Elise, such a beautiful sounding name! I think with first and second names it is important that they sound well together, and this just sounds perfect!

    I'm so not special

    But hey, at least my surname is a rare one, and there are no other Annas with the same last name, so maybe I'm a bit special after all
